Since expanding from a club night into a label in 2018, Bristol’s Lost the Plot Records has garnered a committed international following, earning increasing renown as one of the new-school greats when it comes to the darker side of drum and bass. For its most ambitious project to date, LTP Remixed, the imprint has invited four special guests to remix some of its hottest fan favourites from the archives.

First up is Strasbourg star Skylark, whose stellar year has already included releases on Dispatch, MethLab and Flexout. Here, the forward-thinking Frenchman overhauls Zound’s clattering, minimal weapon “Resound”, reimagining it as a crunchy, frantic techstep weapon utilising innovative four-to-the-floor kicks and jungle-inspired breaks.

Next comes a remix of Sulex’s choppy, resonant roller “Acid” from Vienna’s Wingz, who strips back the track’s drums and alters its groove, opting for a sparse arrangement laden with submerged creaks. The song’s second drop is a raspier affair, introducing trilled cymbals to add a new dimension to an already spellbinding ambiance.

Bournemouth badman Rizzle, whose past output includes releases on prestigious labels including Shogun Audio, Invisible and Symmetry Recordings, takes the reins on a remix of Creatures and Defex’s “Low Rider”, transforming the dark and plucky track into a fuzzed roller offset by bulbous snares.

Finally, Bristol youngster and Lost the Plot regular Creatures returns to the label following a year of high-profile releases on Program, Dispatch and Flexout, turning in a brooding, syncopated flip of Extraction’s “Navigator”. Substituting the original song’s staccato synth stabs and skittering percussion out for bitcrushed murmurs and atmospheric draughts of white noise, it makes for a less busy but equally menacing composition, seeing the EP out with a bang.

'Extraction - Navigator (Creatures Remix)' starts at 05:22 in the mix below.
